Morning run

So this morning I had a 5 mile run, my longest run in a long time. With the heat here I got up and was out the door by 4:30 this morning. Even then it was 80F!

Surprisingly the run was very easy! The first mile was dry, the second it started to sprinkle and the 3rd was a complete downpour for about 10 minutes. I suppose that help make it cooler. The only thing I could complain about was running in wet socks and shoes… never fun.

I was happy with my splits as the goal was to keep them around 12 minutes.

Swimming 

So I have been taking swimming lessons the last 4 weeks and today was my first day in the big pool.   I was a bit intimidated at first, but I easily made it the length of the pool! 

Pizza on my wood fired oven

Well tonight is the 2nd try to make pizza on my wood fired oven outside.  The first attempt failed miserably, my dough was just not right. 

So today it was back to the store and I am going to try again.  The dough is almost perfect this time, but I think my timing is off as it was ready to go in and I had not warmed up the green egg… so the pizza started to stick to my board. 


I decided it was better to put it in now while I could still get it off the board, but now I cannot get the green egg hot enough as it is supposed to be 600 degrees when I put it in.  

All I can do is sit and wait now without opening the lid!  

Bàcaro

In early 2017 Bàcaro opened as Cayman’s only authentic Italian tapas restaurant and wine bar. It was inspired by the traditional “Bacari” of Venice, their menu features fresh, delicious and small plates.  It is easy to relax on the beautiful terrace which overlooks the Yacht Club while with a glass of wine and some small plates.  It has quickly become our new favorite restaurant.

Birthday morning

It has been a great birthday so far.  I started off with breakfast and opened some gifts with Richard. 

 

Then I went off to the spa at the Ritz for a facial.  They brought out some treats for me to enjoy after my service as well!  Let hope the cats have left my flower alone!
